Penza, 6 November 2014. PenzaNews. A resident of Penza won 500,000 rubles in “Russian lotto.”

“The woman became the winner of the 1038th lottery session, but she did not find that out immediately. Like many people who got a winning ticket, she forgot about it, and after a while she left to Far Asia on holidays,” Yuliya Gavrishova, the lottery organizer company representative, told PenzaNews agency.

She added that the lady’s friend reminded her about the lottery ticket, after which they checked the results together.

“The winner plans to spend a portion of her prize on a round-the-world tour, which she had long dreamed of. She also strongly decided to donate some of the funds,” the agency interlocutor explained.
